On January 17, a debate on “disease X” will take place at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Global leaders are set to discuss how to prevent a future pandemic, twenty times more dangerous than the recent coronavirus outbreak.

Disease X is believed to originate from a biological weapon.

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Nísia Trindade, Brazilian Minister of Health, and other experts are expected to participate.
